    Hey Guys,
    I’m sorry I’m missing the party this year. I still can’t believe I’m not going to be there. I remember when Colby made all the corn bread for it. Have a blast. Hope to see you soon!

    Hope you guys have an amazing time today! Sad that we are out of town for the party, but it’s my goal to find a mint julep in South Carolina and join in the fun from afar…

    I brought my toddlers to last year’s party, and I think they had as much fun as I did. Plastic horses, great food and music, happy people in hats…it was a total blast.

    I’m really excited for this year’s party! We’ve got some great sponsors lined up, and I think everyone is going to love the Invisible Dog.

    My favorite part is being surrounded by the 300 coolest people I know.

    I hope Mr. Roan is working on his A-game! (I’ve no doubt he is.)
